Arrived in Alaska on June 24, 2009, 17 days out of Hanalei Bay, Kauai. Wind was light, seas calm, skies partly clouded, and humpback whales greeted us as we entered Belkofski Bay. Our anchorage in Captain Harbor is secure behind two sand spits.

As we awoke the next day we discovered a large grizzly bear browsing our anchorage shoreline at low tide, giving us pause for a shore excursion. Once he was on the opposite side of the bay we took off for our own beach-combing.

Our plan is to stay here until the weekend then start exploring the bays of Dolgoi Island and Povlov Bay to the east before heading into Sand Point for fuel and supplies.
